Description
June 3, 1958 NORMAN 2,836,830
TILE RECEPTOR FOR SHOWERS Filed April 16, 1957 GEEVDRMA 1v INVENTOR 1 I BY 1 I I ATTORNEYS Patented June 3, 1958 2,836,830 TILE RECEPTOR FOR SHQWERS Glenn E. Norman, Nevada, Mo. Application April 16, 1957, Serial No. 653,142 2 Claims. (Cl. 4146) This invention relates generally to a receptor such as used as the base of a shower stall construction, the primary object of the invention being to provide a precast receptor which will be leak-proof and one which will not deteriorate due to constant exposure due to the eifects of water.
An important object of the invention is to provide a receptor which may be constructed of concrete formed to the desired shape, and a layer of ceramic mosaic tile embedded in the concrete and permanently secured thereto, presenting an exceptionally attractive receptor floor surface of a desired pattern to meet various requirements of use.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a receptor which will not only be exceptionally ornamental, but one which may be constructed at a minimum cost.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts, hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure l is a plan view of a receptor constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the receptor in an invertediy formed condition.
Fig. 3 is a sectional vew taken on line 33 of Fig. 1 illustrating the receptor as reversed in its normal position for use.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the cover used for holding the poured concrete against displacement when the receptor is inverted.
prises a base which is constructed by providing a form such as indicated by the reference character 6, the form having a shoulder 7 for a purpose to be hereinafter more fully described. The reference character 8 indicates an inner form section which is of concave-convex construction and slightly smaller than the form 6, so that when the inner form section 8 is positioned within the form 6, a space 9 is provided between the form 6 and inner form section 8, as better shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing.
In using the form 6 in constructing the receptor the form 6 is positioned as shown by Fig. 2, and the band 10 is positioned within the space 9, one marginal edge of the band 10 being inclined inwardly at 11. A drain pipe 12 is positioned centrally of the inner form section 8 and since the inner form section 8 slopes towards the drain pipe 12, it will be seen that when the receptor has been completed and the receptor inverted the water will drain to the drain pipe 12.
The paper-backed ceramic tiles of a desired pattern, indicated by the reference character 13, are positioned face down on the inner section 3 of the form with the paper side down, the portion 14 of the form 6 being extended 5 above the inner fonn section 8 providing a retaining flange for concrete material indicated by the reference character 15, which material is troweled to a level with the end of the drain pipe 12 and edges 16 of the portion 14 of the form 6.
After the concrete shown by Fig. 4 of the reference character 17, is
has been poured a cover as drawing and indicated by the The end of the drain pipe 12 surrounded by the tile 13 will be ccmented to prevent leakage at this point.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the present method for casting is just the reverse from the conventional method used by the tile setter, wherein a bed or base of cement is provided and the tile is placed on the bed or base and pounded into position.
For carrying out the present method the tile is placed on a convex form, paper down, which is the face of the tile when the casting is completed. The form is filled with joints are filled and the casting allowed to harden.
After the receptor has been completely formed, the metal band ill will provide a pan as a part of the floor of the shower stall.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed 1s:
1. A composition shower receptor comprising a concrete base having its upper surface sloping towards the center thereof, a water drain pipe disposed centrally of said base, an imperorate preshaped metal band rising a substantial distance above the marginal edge of said base providing a splash plate for said base, the lower edge of said metal band being inclined laterally and embedded in said concrete base anchoring said band to said base, and a layer of ceramic tile covering the exposed upper concrete surface of said base and engaging said metal band above said inclined edge of said metal band, providing 50 a floor surface.
